The Oculus Quest virtual reality headsets was launched worldwide in May 2019. At first, we at Mixed Reality was skeptical about the device.
The Oculus Quest is one of the first commercial 6DOF mobile type virtual reality headsets and doesn’t have the same capabilities as high-end VR devices like the Oculus Rift and the HTC VIVE.Nonetheless we decided to purchase the Oculus Quest to see what the device is about. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the device is. We were so impressed by the Oculus Quest devices that we have purchased 20 x Oculus devices since it launched.
We also shift our focus from developing high-end virtual reality solutions on the HTC VIVE and Oculus Rift to develop virtual reality solutions specifically for the Oculus Quest. Since the launch we have already developed 3 x high-end Oculus Quest solutions for our clients.
Top 10 Reasons why we recommend our clients use the Oculus Quest and why we develop Oculus Quest virtual reality solutions.
